There is increasing evidence supporting the application of whole-genome sequencing in diagnostic health care across many common disease areas, including cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, diabetes, and cancer. As the incidence of these diseases continues to rise, a network-wide approach is needed to translate whole-genome data into medically useful information. There is established routine, whole-genome testing on thousands of patients annually that has the potential to improve a patient’s standard of care.
Using advanced clinical whole genome sequencing tests, the Englander Institute is developing new treatments for a range of patients, including newborn screening. These reports enable disease risk prediction through the use of polygenic risk scores and provide a more precise diagnosis for rare diseases.
